A member asked:

Should a person with genital hsv 1 take antiviral therapy every day even if there are no breakouts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Typically daily prophylaxis for HSV 1 is only used for people who have regular break outs (more than 3-4 times a year) If no breakouts, could consider getting prescription for prescription for antiviral to use if a breakout occurs instead.
